When was the last time you watched a TV show or movie that had a mother and father who loved each other, had more than one or two children, and the mother was home full time and the father worked hard to provide for his family? The first seasons of “Little House on the Prairie” had this. It was a very popular and well loved show! I loved “When Calls the Heart” on Hallmark up until the last season. This…
“The good wife is a good housekeeper. The wife who would be happy, and make her home happy and permanently beautiful must work with her hands at the housewifely tasks which the days in turn bring to her. The foundation of wedded happiness is good housekeeping. In other words, good breakfasts, dinners and suppers, a well-kept house, order, system, promptness, punctuality, good cheer – far more than any young lovers – dream does happiness in married life depend upon such…
Written By Hannah Schrock in No Greater Joy Magazine Growing up, Mama had a system and it worked to bring peace and stability to our large and growing family. Nearly every day when the clock rolled around to 4 pm, Mama would have us all start getting ready for the evening. We each cleaned up our jurisdiction, creating a neat environment so our minds were subconsciously more relaxed. Once things were in order, dinner was started. Mama always had dinner…
“Many 19-year-old girls, I’ve talked to many of them, believe that their career it going to be the most important thing in their life. Very few 30-year-old women believe that, even if they have high-powdered careers…” (Dr. Jordan Peterson). The 30-year-olds have tasted careers and have found them to not live up to the expectations that they were told all of their lives. From the time girls are young, they’re asked what they want to be when they grow up….
A woman shared this on Facebook recently: I love her honesty. She shares what our culture tells women, yet she is believing the lies. The feminist agenda collides with God’s will for women, therefore, women are living a lie in a confused, chaotic state. Does society tell women to care for their children? No, it actually tells women to let others care for their children. Put them into day care when they are young and then into public schooling for…
Charles J. Ellicot edited a commentary on the Bible in the 1870s. Here is what was written on 1 Timothy 2:12: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.—The whole purpose of these weighty admonitions of the great founder of the Gentile Churches relegates Christian women to their own legitimate sphere of action and influence—the quiet of their own homes. St. Paul caught well the spirit of his…
When I was in high school in the mid-1970s, most of my friends’ mothers were in the workforce. Homes were left empty during the day. One of my church friends (the only other girl that was my age in our church) would tell me about her fornication exploits. She and her boyfriend would go to her home during lunch and fornicate. She had a number of abortions. No one was home, since her mom worked outside of the home. It…
Written By Christina Villalobos Real actual housewives enjoying a moment of afternoon leisure, pleasant conversation, and beautiful weather. Corporate America would never allow them this simple joy on a random afternoon. They don’t need to keep up with the Mrs. Jones. The Joneses are absolutely miserable. They are in more debt than a third world country. They are a slave to the grind. Mrs. Jones, who has everything under the sun, moon, and stars, gets four hours of sleep per…

Dear older mothers, why do you feel you now have to go back to the work force? Your career hasn’t changed. You are just moving…
In the olden days, women could not be career women. Life was far from easy. The woman’s work was needed in the home just to survive. There was no running water, no restaurants, no gasoline, no dishwasher, no washing machines, and so on. There was also no birth control, daycare centers, nor public schools. Women were NEEDED at home. The sin they struggled with was staying at home. They would want to wander to other women’s home to gossip, and…
